Listen "Episode 139: IFS, the 12 Steps, and A Way to Heal When You’re Tempted to Numb Your Pain with Ian Morgan Cron"
Episode Synopsis
What if the behaviors you turn to for comfort—whether it’s overworking, people-pleasing, or numbing out—aren’t the real problem, but rather a signal from a part of you that’s desperately trying to help?
In this powerful and delightful episode, I sit down with Ian Morgan Cron—bestselling author and renowned Enneagram expert—to explore the fascinating intersections between Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the 12 Steps.
Here's what we cover. . .
* Why we’re all addicts in some way—and how the 12 Steps apply to everyone
* What “firefighters” are in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and how they work to protect us
* The true source of numbing behaviors
* The surprising and liberating goal of the 12 Steps and what it means for all of us
* Practical ways to find a safe person to share your struggles honestly and vulnerably
* How we can all achieve emotional sobriety
